Considering how close October Prime Day is to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it's likely that prices won't drop any lower. (When in doubt, take advantage of Amazon's 30-day return policy or contact customer service for a price adjustment.) Here are the best Prime Day phone deals we've found so far.
Best Prime Day phone deals 2025
An October Prime Day is an ideal time to upgrade your smartphone, as you can make a more informed decision now. All major launches from the likes of Apple, Samsung, and Google are out of the way, so you have a rough idea of how they stack up against each other. Prime Day brings the price of some of the best Android phones on the market to a more affordable range. Here are some of the best Prime Day 2025 deals that you shouldn't miss.
- Current price: $935
- Original price: $1,300
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra remains one of the best phones to buy in October 2025, despite being launched early in the year. It sports the best display on a smartphone that we've tested, versatility with four rear cameras, powerful performance, and a decent battery life. While the S Pen isn't what it used to be, it is still great for jotting down quick notes.

Another front-runner for best Android phone this year, the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL is currently over 20% off on Amazon. That gets you a 6.8-inch Super Actua display (read: it's both bright and vivid), Google's latest Gemini smarts like Magic Cue and Auto Best Take, Qi2 magnet-based charging, and 256GB of storage.

The Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 is one of the most capable flip phones you can buy right now. It has a big inner display that can be folded into a tiny phone with a flexible cover screen. The outer display is perfect for quick tasks and instant replies, better than even Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 in this regard.

The OnePlus 13 launched earlier this year, but it's still a great pick for anyone eyeing a snappy Android phone that charges faster than the competition. I'm talking 80W wired and 50W wireless, the former of which allows the OnePlus to top up within 30 minutes.

We tested the Google Pixel 10 a little more than a month ago and found it to be nearly faultless. The latest model features the same ultra-smooth and bright display as its Pro siblings and finally gets a dedicated telephoto lens. This Prime Day price makes it an even better buy.

- Current price: $200
- Original price: $400
The Moto G Stylus remains my go-to recommendation for those who want excellent battery life on their new phone for under $200. Despite its tall display, satisfactory cameras, and smooth OS, it'll easily last you more than a day. On Prime Day, you can pick up the stylus-equipped handset for 50% off.
